Midwest Rhino

In keeping with the tradition of strong low speed air driven handpieces, Midwest introduced the Rhino vane type low speed motor. At 8,000 rpm, the Midwest Rhino is extremely strong and is compatible with all Midwest Shorty attachments. The Rhino is light weight and operates at very low pressures (2 psi) to provide very controllable low speed operation for a light touch. A twist of the black ring at bottom allows for forward and reverse, achieving up to 8,000 rpm in either direction. No water or air capability with this one.

Midwest Rhino – Low Speed But Still a Little High for Prophy Work

Hygienists seeking a handpiece for prophy work should look to the Midwest RDH. The optimum running speed of the Rhino will be a little high for that. The RDH offers an easy running 4,000 rpm for excellent prophy control.

Dental Handpiece Torque – Size Matters

Most dental handpiece manufacturers provide a selection of head sizes to accommodate the dentists needs for the appropriate speed and dental handpiece torque. Often they are classified as large, standard, and mini. Many manufacturers feel the most limiting measurement is front to rear, which is tip of the chuck to very back of handpiece head. […]

Dental Turbines

Dental turbines are highly specialized air driven turbines used mainly in high speed handpieces, and in limited cases, low speed handpieces, such as the Midwest Shorty and Midwest Tru-torque turbine and ring driven handpieces made by Dentsply.

Contra Angles

Contra Angles Gear Ratio Contra angles like the Kavo 25 LPA above come in varying speeds and may be driven by electric or air driven low speed motors. The illustrated picture shows a 1:5 arrangement which increases speed at bur to 5 times motor speed. For every time large gear at bottom spins, small gear […]

Kavo Intra Lux

Kavo Intra Lux – Intra with Light Kavo Intra Lux combines variety with extreme precision. Light transmission is excellent, while each component meshes with vibration free perfection. To put the 25,000 lux generated by the fiber optics of the Kavo Intra Lux into perspective, this is just below the level of having concentrated direct sunlight […]

Dental Bearings

Dental Bearings Rated By ABEC Not to be confused with OPEC, the guys responsible for making it more expensive to operate those gas guzzlers americans love so much, dental bearings are rated by ABEC. The Annular Bearing Engineering Committee (ABEC) scale is a system for rating the manufacturing tolerances of precision bearings. Dental Bearings Rated […]
